I've been out of the MB scene for a good year or so. I continued to play off and on and ended up with four 85s (with a 5th on the way). I grinded them all out to full visc/ruth 10, 378 weps and such:

DK (tank, dps, and pvp gear)
Disc Priest (full season 10 pvp gear only)
Ele/Resto shaman (full season 10 pvp gear only)
Mage (full season 10 pvp gear, some pve gear)

Powerleveling a feral druid with every heirloom. I'm honored with a guild and have access to the stuff, plus enough honor/justice points to get anything

I really enjoy the control of playing one toon, using all its abilities.. I love my DK especially, and my mage. But now having 4 geared 85 toons, and prior multibox experience... I keep trying to think of ideas of how I can use them all together.

- For PVP.. I'd def go 4 frost DKs... but I got so burned out - Wotlk 4x shaman 5v5 was more painful than fun. 4x pally + dk got nerfed days before I hit 80 :(. The days of instagib look long gone (I've watched the latest vids). So I'm not sure if that will end up being fun or just another painful grind.

- PVE... Well I could do heroics with my group, but I already did 1000 of those gearing up my DK in full tank/dps gear, and these new heroics look no fun to box.

- Firelands farming? Maybe. Be a great way to get cash (trinks till 12-15k on my server and weapons 15-30k).

- I hate to go on and on.. hhopefully some of you remember me and are willing to give some advice. The arena+rbg to cap system is crap and this late, I can't even get my DK into a rbg group despite ruthless/viscious + dual obsidium cleavers because I'm only 1350 rating. On the contrary, not only do I know from 1000s of BGs that multiboxer+organized group is usually fail, but I couldn't get an invite even if I wanted to try.

I definitely want to take advantage of my multiboxing knowledge and 4 geared 8s in SOME way.. even if that's s aving time 4 boxing in AV or having an entourage so I can do my damn TB dallies without getting wrecked (my DK can wreck anything 1v1 except blood, but alliance run around in packs).


TL;DR:
I've single boxed and geared 4 85s, mixed class, over the last 9 months. I feel like playing them separately, with my knowledge of multiboxing, its a tremendous waste of productivity. But I'm not sure what challenges I can take on with them.

Sup,

Im my opinion what youve just described is what there is to do in this game atm.
If u have a mixed team u ussaly do PvE and heroics, try to clean all ingame etc
If u have a pvp team of like 4+1 or 5 u ussaly do arena/bgs. Not reaching the cap isnt something i would care abot that much, u still get decent amount of points from just arena, and it gives u a week or 2 more to farm for your gear, which in the end, this game is all about :P

Hopefully youl find something interesting left in this game, if not, well there is a big world out there.

I would only echo what emo said. However with regards to rbg, if you play on tich alliance side its one of the best servers for pug rbgs and there are tons of people and in particular guilds who sell people rbg carries as well arena carries. Grab a carry or decent pugs on a good pug server. Just a thought or you can start pugs of your own. edit: however if you are wishing to start a pug of your own, make sure you are the most important classes. Usually most pugs lack a good fc, and that means prot specs.

I have a pve team at 85 and 4 shaman + druid aswell. I solo box the druid as feral and occasionally play a disc priest. I don't miss boxing for one bit really, just playing with others.

I have just as much fun with just 2 accounts (priest and druid are on 2 different accounts) So don't really see much reason to box again. Besides that I'd have to gear characters up again. Just do what you enjoy? /care about productivity/effectiveness imo.

Explain to the RBG people that keep turning you down, that if they are turning low rating people down, they are doing it wrong.

All of the highest rated RBG players I know 3k+, ONLY take you into their group if you have a low RBG rating. The reason for this is, the MMR rating you get is the team average. So a couple 3k+ ringers with a bunch of sub 1k guys will end up playing 1500-1600 MMR teams. Easier wins. Less risk essentially.
